The same philosophy of personal attention that distinguishes Yorkville Education Company as a leading provider of post-secondary education makes us an exceptional place to work.

We are a progressive and modern institution, responding to the needs of current and future students and implementing the best technology solutions to empower our work.

Focused on providing a transformative, accessible and flexible higher education environment, our teams, from the President to the newest staff member, share a passion for learning, teaching, and growing as individuals and as teams.

We nurture an inclusive, supportive, and genuinely kind work environment at our three campus locations.
